it is a crap shoot on how i feel from one day to another. i think a lot of it depends on how much sleep i actually get from day to day. Yesterday was awful, but today I feel much better.
you finally kicked and moved for your sister. She can't wait to meet you. She gives you little pats and hugs. You move a lot and it is pretty visible in my stomach. I think you are probably pretty long because your bum was under my ribs this morning when I was laying down and I know your head is in my pelvis.
I have been reading some books that I thought were really good before your sister was born. The advice is crap. People make you beleive that if you follow just a couple of rules then everything will turn out okay. It isn't true.
I am also amazed on how many people tell you to baby proof your home before your child is born. WHY? By the time your sister was mobile, most of the plugs had been pulled out because I needed the outlet for one thing or another. The cabinet door latches were falling off because how much use can cheap plastic take anyway. I also read the other day that I shouldn't have your crib near a window because you might FALL OUT THE WINDOW. WHAT? You can't move. and you are in a crib!!
I wonder what you will be like. Will you be like your father, quiet and nice with an ability to throw a hell of a temper tantrum, or will you be more like me and your sister running around acting like a maniac.
I feel very lucky to have you and to be able to make it this far in my pregancy. I am almost assured a healthy baby by now. It is amazing to me. The whole process is amazing.
I am scared though. As I get closer to meeting you the feelings of being overwhelmed get stronger and stronger. I worry most about your sister.

YOu can't help but feel overwhelmed and worried about Peanut, but rest assured life with Pumpkin will be just as amazing. Peanut will adjust and so will you. to help Peanut adjust, you might think about picking up something she is just dying to have and putting it in your hospital bag. After Pumkin is born you can give it to Peanut and explain that Pumkin is very concerned that he will be taking up so much of the time that used to be reserved for her and hopes this gift from him will help her keep loving him as much as he loves her.
Now you understand why I was somewhat melancholy before Mackenzie was born. I, too, worried a lot about the older child. The life as the firstborn knows it is about to change forever and it's a bit sad.
